Our job doesn’t require us to do advanced tasks with calendar apps so we never bothered to use the stock Calendar app much. We used it for over a month to see what it has to offer. It also lacks a menu bar icon, which can provide easy access to many features.įantastical 2 is a calendar app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, made by the indie developer Flexibits and it claims to be a superior alternative to the stock Calendar app.
The stock Calendar app's natural language processing could use improvements for things such as repeated events, and its rudimentary widget isn't good enough for many. The default Calendar app on iOS and macOS does a pretty decent job for most people but power users definitely want more.
